  ABSTRACT: Since deaf drivers can’t hear audible instructions, such as sirens or alarms, leading to a much higher probability of accidents for deaf drivers than non-deaf drivers. This has triggered stereotypes against deaf drivers in society. Based on Attenuation theory, article thesis is that by applying more AVC technology in the society, a stronger visionary sensation could reduce the car accidents of deaf drivers, while eliminating the social stereotypes that deaf people could not drive. Audio-visual conversion technology allows sound to be visualized so deaf drivers can understand audible instructions. The reason for the current low penetration of AVC technology is that deaf people generally have low social economic status and some of them cannot afford the cost of AVC technology.
